Love the pumpkin rissotto. Very reasonably priced
Food was full of flavour, reasonably priced and portion sizes were decent. Only down side was we had to wait an hour for the food to arrive to the table. If it wasn't the long wait times would of rated it a 5!
Amazing food with amazing service!
Food was fresh and full of flavour. I would definitely recommend to family, friends and everyone else !
10/10!
Beautiful food, great service! We had pizzas, pasta and lamb shanks and it all came out quick and was beautiful for a Sunday lunch. Thanks for having us
best shoestring fries and seasoned wedges in williamstown we have tried on our chip crawl around williamstown! really good service and atmosphere
Very good chips and fries, only one person on but efficient and reasonably quick service, have come here twice on our chip crawl, so it’s good
Some of the best fries we’ve had here in Nelson Place Williamstown. And we have been to nearly every place that sells chips on a “chip crawl” if you will.
the food was really good me and my friends ordered chips as we always do every friday (we call it fry-days). nothing bad to report. service was also good

Al Porto Vecchio is a well-known Italian restaurant, situated in a lovely location Along Nelson Place overlooking Port Phillip Bay. Al Porto Vecchio has a homely and welcoming atmosphere due to their easy-listening music playing in the background and their gorgeous warm fire. The venue is an Old Art Deco building and has recently been taken over by new owners. We were very excited to try them out!
For entrée we ordered the Seasoned Wedges which was covered in melted cheese and sour cream and the Bruschetta (which was pizza-based) served with tomato and basil. For mains, we ordered the the Basilicata Pizza which came with tomato, cheese, basil, mushrooms and chilli, the Pasta Basilico which came with garlic, pesto, olive oil and spring onion and finally to share, we had the Vegetarian Al Forno served with creamy Napoli tossed with vegetables and penne topped with cheese. For drinks we had the Toblerone cocktail and a Lemon Lime and Bitters.
The wedges were absolutely glorious! They were crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside - just the way they should be! The melted cheese worked so well with it and it was such an awesome start to the night. The Bruschetta was delicious. You can tell that these guys use high-quality ingredients because the tomato and basil were super fresh and tasted beautiful.
Our favourite dish was definitely the Vegetarian Al Forno! This was extraordinary. It was a very generous serve and it was packed with flavour. The cheese simply melted in my mouth and the vegetables were cooked to perfection. The pizza was fantastic - we loved the chilli as it added so much more to the dish! Finally, the gnocchi was gorgeous; they were light and fluffy and went great with the basil. The Toblerone martini had a little bit too much milk but I still enjoyed the drink.
We loved our time here immensely! The experience was wonderful and we cannot recommend this place highly enough! Thank you very much for having us.
Al Porto Vecchio is perfectly located Italian restaurant right on the main strip along the waterfront. The interiors are cosy and welcoming with friendly and attentive staff. The menu is extensive with some amazing dishes. Would recommend!. Always a good option to start the meal! ★★★. Poached Bay Mussels $19 in White Wine, Garlic, Herbs, Sweet Chili and Napoli Sauce
Most Delish Mussels!! Absolutely loved our first time here. Staff were friendly and everyone really enjoyed their food. My partner said it was the best Parma he has had in ages and he is an avid Parma eater!
Wow, have just experienced a family Birthday dinner and was pleasantly surprised with the excellent service and menu options. The meal was delicious and tried several options between the group. We will certainly be back, the steak, seafood, pizza and pasta dishes were exceptional. Give this place a try for a relaxed atmosphere, surprising great offerings and excellent service.
Top quality food at reasonable affordable price. Great selection. Very friendly staff. Highly recommended. Great location.
I’d never been to Williamstown before. Gorgeous spot, super chill and pretty. This place thought is a surprise and half - so great. While waiting for my order I had food envy for every plate that came out, and when mine came I felt quietly smug cause I reckon it was the pick of the menu. So here’s my review… BEST Caesar salad I’ve ever eaten. No hyperbole here. It was a beautiful balance of super fresh greens, a light and tasty dressing, and just enough anchovy that when it was met it was met with perfectly timed surprise and saltiness. The herbed chicken pieces I added fell apart and made a relaxed picking (I like to take my time) all the more delicious.
Also, it should be mentioned that a charming irl family manage the hotel it sits in and that warmth and hospitality is evident in everything they do here.
Go. You’ll love it.
Returned to this restaurant at the invitation of the owner following my previous not so good review... what a difference!!!! We were greeted by friendly enthusiastic staff. The meals we chose were salt and pepper calamari,cooked to perfection ,flavoursome and a generous serve..also roasted cauliflower with faro salad was an explosion for the taste buds. The wine was perfect. Thanks so much for the delicious meals and the excellent service. Would definitely recommend and most definitely will return..
Fantastic, everytime 👏
I have never experienced anything negative while dining here. That is with a tables of 2 to a table of 10. Consistently good service. Food is exceptional. Management and staff are knowledgeable about the menu and the ingredients that are in food that they serve.
It makes you wonder when somone leaves a bad review of a place like this. What they're life must be like if this is the worst thing to happen to them that they need to tell everyone.
I will be back and I'm sure I will not be disappointed. Well done.
To the wonderful Al Porto what can I say one word AMAZING.
I had the pork belly and my partner had the bbq ribs.
If you haven't had a taste at this place do youreself a favour go you won't be disappointed.
Well cooked meals a huge rage to choose from.
The outdoor space very nice to sit in the sun, have a chat and a drink.
We will be back!
